Listening to Lead: What Listening Really Means in Leadership

In this episode, I sit down with Christine Miles, author, entrepreneur and founder of The Listening Path®, to explore why listening may be one of the most overlooked leadership skills. Drawing on her research and experience, Christine challenges the assumption that listening is a passive activity and argues that many of us are not truly listening to understand, but rather listening to respond, solve or persuade. We discuss the hidden role that assumptions play in communication.  We also discuss how poor listening impacts trust and decision-making and what leaders can do to create stronger relationships and healthier organizational cultures. Whether you lead a team, an organization or simply want to become a more effective communicator, this conversation offers practical insights into the transformative power of truly hearing others.
